Cowboys Are My Weakness | October 9th – 25th

WICA is proud to present Cowboys Are My Weakness in partnership with Seattle’s renowned Book-It Repertory Theatre. Adapted & Directed by Myra Platt

Adapted from Pam Houston’s acclaimed short story collection /Cowboys Are My Weakness/ (1992), this production brings to life four interwoven stories: “How to Talk to a Hunter,” “Selway,” “For Bo,” and the title story, “Cowboys Are My Weakness.”

Myra Platt, who originally directed the 1999 Book-It Repertory Theatre staging, returns with a fresh adaptation tailored for Whidbey Island audiences. With signature wit, emotional sharpness, and a dash of Western mystique, Houston’s stories showcase women navigating desire and independence against the vast backdrop of the modern West.
